Dirt Road Stacy

sorry i am not happiness, roses and sunshine

she lives one town over just down route 49

where the sun sets on the tracks

and the odds are pretty stacked

that if you go tonight

i'd bet my wife that there's no coming back 

chase the one it all seems real enough

take my car and turn right off the bluff

hang on there for your new flame

just know i will never be the same

for every lover there is an old lover and a scar

four hundred dollars might just buy you a running car

so hold your breath for eighteen hours through the Midwest

so you can walk in on what shes been doing best.

chase the one it all seems real you know

like you're the only one who has been to mexico

get on the plane its the hardest part

but you wont know pain until it all falls apart.

just down the dirt 

there is just more dirt.

"i'd bet my wife that there's no coming back"

This made me laugh hard! Really, of all the things you could have a bet on, you chose the wife 😛😂
On a serious note, this line here:

"for every lover there is an old lover and a scar"
caught my attention. I quite agree. Nicely penned, MP! 👍

Thank You for that. I'm glad it made you laugh, it is sort of a needed silly line. I appreciate it, for sure!

Do you know who Zera Neal Hurston is?
This reminds me of her book tracks on a dirt road.
